One of our customers is toying with a very interesting idea right now; since Customer2You has opened her business up to the entire internet, she's considering announcing a promotion on several out-of-state radio stations where people can order food online and it will be delivered to a local childrens' hospital! She gets sales, the kids get great food and kindness and joy are spread throughout the world. :) I hope she does it; in any case, it's a great way to use the global aspect of the Internet.
For that matter, my mom lives in Florida and I live in New Hampshire and I will occasionally call a pizza place local to her and order her a pie. :) It's a nice gesture, but it's left a little empty when she has to sign the slip and see how much I paid for it - and decide what "my" tip will be! If I could place the order online, I'd be much happier about it. Gonna have to send them a brochure. ;)
In other news, our technical team recently attended a seminar hosted by one of our distributors. At the seminar, we were exposed to a lot of emerging technologies in the field of IP-based surveillance, and given some technical training on how to install and support these very effective, efficient solutions for keeping an extra eye on a customer's business. Some of the higher end models could even remember by "smart" technology the size and shape of an object, and poll other cameras on the network for sightings of that object! Very VERY useful if anyone ever needed to investigate an incident.
Well, that's all the tech news that there is to print. Happy computing!
